PeachCare for Kids
Eligibility
Eligibility for PeachCare for Kids® must be determined annually. A child may be eligible if they are:
Georgia Resident
Under age 19
A U.S. citizen or an eligible immigrant
Not covered by or eligible for Medicaid
Not a resident in an institution
Within the income ranges established for participation
Not covered by other group health insurance*
*If a child has group health insurance that is voluntarily dropped, there is usually a six-month waiting period before that child can be eligible for PeachCare for Kids®. However, since dependents of state employees have been excluded from participating in PeachCare for Kids® since inception, this six-month waiting period will be waived for these children for a limited time. After this limited time period expires, the six-month waiting period for dropping coverage will apply.
* A family of three can make around $43, 500 and qualify; a family of four can make around $52, 500. |
